We prove that, if a closed geodesic $\Gamma$ on a complete finite type hyperbolic surface has at least 2 self-intersections, then the length of $\Gamma$ has an lower bound $2\log(5+2\sqrt6)$, and the lower bound is sharp, attained on a…
We study the twisted cohomoligical equation over the geodesic flow on $SL(2,\mathbb{R})/\Gamma$. We characterize the obstructions to solving the twisted cohomological equation, construct smooth solution and obtain the tame Sobolev estimates…
Let $\Gamma$ be a cocompact discrete subgroup of $\mathrm{PSL}_{2}(\mathbb{C})$ and denote by $\mathcal{H}$ the three dimensional upper half-space. For a $p\in\mathcal{H}$, we count the number of points in the orbit $\Gamma p$, according to…
Let $G=SL_2(\mathbb R)^d$ and $\Gamma=\Gamma_0^d$ with $\Gamma_0$ a lattice in $SL_2(\mathbb R)$. Let $S$ be any "curved" submanifold of small codimension of a maximal horospherical subgroup of $G$ relative to an $\mathbb R$-diagonalizable…
For a cocompact group $\G$ of $\slr$ we fix a real non-zero harmonic 1-form $\alpha$. We study the asymptotics of the hyperbolic lattice-counting problem for $\G$ under restrictions imposed by the modular symbols $\modsym{\gamma}{\a}$. We…
Consider $G=\SL_{ d }(\mathbb R)$ and $ \Gamma=\SL_{ d }(\mathbb Z)$. It was recently shown by the second-named author \cite{s} that for some diagonal subgroups $\{g_t\}\subset G$ and unipotent subgroups $U\subset G$, $g_t$-trajectories of…
Let $d$ be a positive square-free integer $\equiv 3 \pmod{4}$ such that there is no invariant of the ideal class group $\mathbb{Q}\lbrack \sqrt{-d}\rbrack$ which is divisible by $4$. We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of immersed…
Let x be a point in R^2 with irrational slope and let \Gamma denote the lattice SL(2,Z) acting linearly on R^2. Then, the orbit \Gamma x is dense in R^2. We give efective results on the approximation of a point y in R^2 by points of the…
We give upper and lower bounds for Diophantine exponents measuring how well a point in the plane can be approximated by points in the orbit of a lattice $\Gamma<\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ acting linearly on $\mathbb{R}^2$. Our method gives…
In this note we show that for any hyperbolic surface S, the number of geodesics of length bounded above by L in the mapping class group orbit of a fixed closed geodesic with a single double point is asymptotic to L raised to the dimension…
We provide a "soft" proof for non-trivial bounds on spherical, hyperbolic and unipotent Fourier coefficients of a fixed Maass form for a general co-finite lattice $\Gamma$ in $PGL(2,R)$. We use the amplification method based on the Airy…
We rewrite Arthur's asymptotic formula for weighted orbital integrals on real groups with the aid of a residue calculus and extend the resulting formula to the Schwartz space. Then we extract the available information about the coefficients…
This paper aims to shed light on what becomes of discrete torsion within heterotic orbifolds when they are resolved to smooth geometries. Gauged Linear Sigma Models (GLSMs) possessing (0,2) worldsheet supersymmetry are employed as…
For positive integers $p$ and $q$ let $G:=\textrm{PSO}(p,q)$ be the projective indefinite special-orthogonal group of signature $(p,q)$. We study counting problems in the Riemannian symmetric space $X_G$ of $G$ and in the pseudo-Riemannian…

Let $E(x;\omega)$ be the error term for the number of integer lattice points lying inside a $3$-dimensional Cygan-Kor\'anyi spherical shell of inner radius $x$ and gap width $\omega(x)>0$. Assuming that $\omega(x)\to0$ as $x\to\infty$, and…
Let $M=S^{2n+1}/ \Gamma$, $\Gamma$ is a finite group which acts freely and isometrically on the $(2n+1)$-sphere and therefore $M$ is diffeomorphic to a compact space form. In this paper, we first investigate Katok's famous example about…
We consider the discrepancy of the integer lattice with respect to the collection of all translated copies of a dilated convex body having a finite number of flat, possibly non-smooth, points in its boundary. We estimate the $L^{p}$ norm of…
